You know the antenna that they have in most recent model BMWs? I think that that would look kind of cool on the V. That I don't like having easily removable parts on the outside of my car, or having to remove stuff before washing.

Anyway, there are a few different models of antennae and I'm not sure which one I like most and would like to hear what people think of which might look best, in order of my preference:

1 - http://www.visualgarage.com/im...3.jpg2 - http://www.bimmernav.com/images/e46bt41.jpg3 - http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/GPSWWBB.jpg

My second question is about the logistics of switching the wires around. Does anyone have any insight on that?

It's a close tie between image 1 and 3. I personally think image 1 in white would look awesome. Post a pic of it on your car when you install it.

Of the pictures you have, one looks the best to me, but two might be good if you had better pictures of it. I don't like three because it's not smooth - I don't think the hard lines would look good on top of the smooth roof.

I agree that #1 looks like a smoother (better) version of #3... #2 I think would look too short and stubby where as #1 I think would flow better with the lines of the Versa.

#1 has almost the same profile as the Versa

Why don't you request BullDog to do some photoshop for ya. Might make the visuals better to judge

I definitely say #1... Actually I always wondered what an antenna like that would look like on the Versa. If you get it done don't forget to show pics...
